Makino was heading towards the academy holding a small box with a silver bow on it. Walking through the empty hallway, she reached a classroom with a bunch of noise coming from the inside. Makino took a deep breath and knocked on the door; she slid the door open and walked in. "Makino!" "Nee-chan!" "Makino-san!" Makino was greeted with many little kids yelling and waving. "Hi everybody!" Makino said with her sweet voice. "Hello Makino! I really need a break, so can you watch them until school is over?" Iruka asked or more like begged. "Sure Iruka!" Makino said with smile, with that Iruka walked out of the classroom. Makino looked around and saw everyone coloring, her eyes landed on the young raven-haired boy. Makino was heading towards the boy when a blonde boy tugged on her shirt. "Nee-chan! Look at what I drew!" He grinned, holding up a picture of ramen. "That's really cute, Naruto-kun." Makino giggled and gave him a peck on the cheek. The raven-haired boy's eyes lightened when he saw Makino. "Nee-chan!" The raven-haired said in a happy tone. "Happy Birthday Sasuke-kun!" Makino said with a big smile, and handed him the wrapped up box. "What is it?" Sasuke asked with excitement. "Open it." Makino said while watching the little boy rip the wrapping paper. "A custom made kunai and shuriken set." Sasuke said with his eyes wide opened, "Thank you Nee-chan!" Sasuke shouted, giving Makino a hug. For the rest of the time Makino went around looking at everyone's drawings, when the bell finally rung.
"Come on! Your parents and Itachi are waiting." Makino stated and dragged Sasuke all the way to her house. "I thought we were going to my house." Sasuke said confused. "Well I have to change." Makino said. When they arrived at her house, Makino asked Sasuke to help her look for an outfit. "You should wear this one." Sasuke grinned innocently. "It has to be appropriate." "But Itachi would like it." "Really?" "Yeah." "Fine, I'll wear it." Makino sighed and pushed Sasuke out of the room. When she stepped out of the room she was wearing a black tank top that hugged her body perfectly. She was wearing a white skirt that ended a little above the knee. Her chocolate brown hair was up in a ponytail, and she had black sandals on. Makino twirled and asked, "Is it okay?" "Yeah. Come on let's go. I don't want to be late for my own party!" Sasuke practically yelled.
When they arrived, Sasuke's parents wished him a happy birthday. "Where's Itachi?" Makino asked. "Oh, he's somewhere in his room." Sasuke's mother said. Makino started to head towards Itachi's room, she knocked on the door and walked in. "Itachi-kun?" Makino said. She saw Itachi sitting on his bed struggling with the wrapping paper. Makino giggled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Need some help?" She asked laughing uncontrollably. Itachi glared at her and muttered a quiet yes. After they were done wrapping up Sasuke's present, Itachi finally noticed what Makino was wearing. "You look… nice." Itachi said with a smirk plastered on his face. Makino blushed and said, "Thanks. You know Sasuke helped me pick out this outfit. He said you would like it." "He has very good taste." Itachi whispered and started to leave butterfly kisses on her neck. "Itachi, we should stop before we get caught." Makino said trying to suppress a little moan. Itachi's father never really approved of Makino, he rather have Itachi be with an Uchiha. Makino pushed Itachi away and walked out of the room. Itachi frowned, and followed her.
When they reached the kitchen Sasuke jumped on Itachi trying to get the gift. "What is it big brother?!" Sasuke asked with excitement in his voice. Itachi gave Sasuke a small smile while handing him the gift. Without a second thought he ripped the wrapping paper. "I worked so hard on wrapping that gift…." Itachi mumbled, with disappointment in his voice. Makino giggled and stared at the gift. It was a picture of their family, but what surprised Makino the most was that she was also in the picture. "That's all? A picture?" Sasuke asked. "I think it's a beautiful present, Sasuke-kun." Makino smiled trying to hold in tears.
After the party, Itachi led Makino to the forest. She sat on his lap staring at the sky. "Makino-chan." Itachi whispered. "Yes?" "I need to tell you something." "What is it?" Itachi looked at the grass with doubt in his eyes. Clearly he was hiding something. "Itachi what's wrong?" Makino asked facing him. "I… I can't see you anymore." Itachi said. Makino's eyes widened, her heart felt heavy. It felt like all of Konoha was stacked on her small heart. All she could say was, "Why?" "I'm going to kill my clan." He said without any emotion, "They're holding me back." "I won't let you do it." Makino whispered getting up, she turned around and tried to run, but her legs wouldn't move. "I drugged your food. I don't want them to suspect that you were a part of this." Itachi said. "Itachi don't do this!" Makino shouted. Itachi gave her a deep kiss. It was no ordinary kiss, this one had no love in it. It couldn't be since the kiss was filled with sadness and grief. "P-Please…don't do this…." Makino whispered before fainting. He picked her limp body up and carried her to her house. The drug was going to last for a couple days, so his plan would start tomorrow.
The sun shined brightly through Makino's window. She groaned and stretched. Her mind was hazy at first, but then she remembered what Itachi had told her. Makino quickly got up and headed for the Uchiha compound. There was dry blood everywhere. She was too late. Makino saw an ANBU Black Ops and asked them if there were any survivors. They told her that Sasuke Uchiha had survived. Makino ran towards the hospital, desperate to see Sasuke. Makino burst through the doors startling Sasuke. "Nee-chan!" Sasuke yelled and hugged her. "Sasuke, are you alright?" Makino asked tears falling from her eyes. "He killed everyone." Sasuke cried, seeing Sasuke cry made Makino cry even more. "It's alright, we'll get through this together." Makino noticed the picture that Itachi had given Sasuke. Sasuke grabbed the picture and threw it in the trash.
After Sasuke had fallen asleep, Makino reached into trashcan and pulled out the picture. Sasuke was willing to hate his brother, but she wasn't. She wanted to hate him, but she couldn't. She stared at the glistening stars in the night sky. Makino knew she could never let go of Itachi. Love is like a roller coaster; it has its ups and downs. When Itachi was still here, she felt like she was on top of a tall slope. Now, she felt like she was falling down the slope and she wasn't going to ever stop. Makino placed the picture in her pocket, and stared at Sasuke, he looked so sad. Makino knew how Sasuke felt her parents were brutally murdered in front of her too.
Makino heard a soft tap on the window she turned around and gasped. Outside the window was none other than Itachi Uchiha. He slid the window open and climbed inside. "If you're here to kill Sasuke, I'll scream." Makino threatened. "I'm not here to kill him. I'm here to ask you to come with me." Itachi whispered, "I still love you, Makino." "Itachi…." Makino whispered hugging him. He held her tightly never wanting to let go. They stared into each other's eyes; slowly Itachi inched towards Makino's lips placing a kiss on her. This time, the kiss was loving and passionate. Just the way she liked it.
